Council Members

Position: Mayor
Name: Kathy Bohnet
I grew up in Yakima Washington. I met my Wilson Creek wheat farmer husband
Harvey through friends while I was a student at WSU. We were married in 1960
and I moved to Wilson Creek. I have now lived in the area forty-six years.
We lived for thirty years on our farm north of town. I was
an active farm wife driving a truck or combine during harvest and doing any
thing else that needed doing.
I have served on the school board, in many ag related positions and held many
presbyterian church offices. I have especially enjoyed working with youth both
at the school and the church. I am the mother of four and the grandmother of
seven.
My interests are gardening, reading, history, antiques and travel.
I was elected Mayor in November of 1999. I consider it an honor to serve the
people of Wilson Creek as their Mayor.
